I’m excited to join such a committed team, and I’m looking forward to helping solution providers utilize Intronis’ backup and disaster recovery capabilities within their managed services portfolios.”

“To that end,” Roller continued, “we will soon be launching a series of enablement tools that will provide IT resellers with tactical means to grow and nurture their businesses.”
